[Closed] bike you really want to buy next.

Check out the Swobo Scofflaw SS, - dirt lush as they say.

Too late, I'm already just about to have build day commence on something in ti flavour. 😉

Personally I would not call that pickenflick vfm as Litespeed CX frame at £950 and Van Nicholas complete builds work out cheaper if not same.
I know which I'd choose even if the OO looks alright.

Weeksy, what on earth persuaded you to get a 690 Duke.

You'll realise the mistake when the fuelling starts to cut out on you, very dangerous as you can imagine.

Thought better of you that you would get a 1290 monster all pimped up.

With all the wheel size gubbins and everything, I've kind of switched off. I've not been that interested in new bikes for ages now. However, [i]this[/i] has changed that. I really, really, really, really want one. It just looks 'right', and perfect for the kind of riding I do. In fact I've already been laying the groundwork with the comittee...

I'd like an extracycle free radical kit for my town bike.. and maybe a really nice EBB for my Soul

I'm happy to say I'm well over my bike fetish these days 🙂

I have the 390 currently (Along with an 848 evo) and would like to have the 690 as a semi-track bike as Mrs Weeksy uses the 848 mostly on track so I'd be stuck with the 390. This may all change this weekend when I take the 390 on track and if I like it I may keep using that on the short tracks...

I think the later 690's are all good though, certainly not like the older Duke3 which had the above issues you describe.

As for the 1290, nah, not for me. If I were to go down a bigger HP naked it would be a 1098SF.

I'd love to build on of these up, but it's not gonna happen any time soon 😥

So I've narrowed it down, in order of cost, to a Cotic Escapade frame (transfer bits from RoadRat), or a Stooge (Bits from Roadrat, some new bits, some spares box bis, Chronicle front), or some sort of slack 27.5+/29er HT (QuarterHorse/Solaris/Yelli maybe, taking all the parts from my Soul, adding new forks, light bicycle rims) or maybe saving for a new DH frame (Gambler possibly, run it 26 for now until new wheels and forks are in budget) or lastly a new 27.5 AM frame (Nomad, maybe, plus new wheels, use my Devilles for now)

New Giant Trinity when it's out...

[img] [/img]

And the new Scott Addict CX...

[img] [/img]

Won't happen, but I'd be happy with that pair 🙂

Banshee Spitfire

A Surly long big dummy. I won't get one, I'll get a trailer for my Kona MinUte instead, but I do want one...

Yeti Ars-c or Trek Superfly or wait til November and get Merida Ninety Six 29er.Having a recce on Saturday then put it to the finance committee who last week said I could look if she could have new boobs!!!.

Some super-light (relative to my all-steel stable) carbon-fibre road bike, like a Cervelo R3. I feel the need for speed (and higher Strava placings).

And the new Scott Addict CX...

[img] [/img]

I saw one of these at a Scott sponsored event a couple of weeks ago. It's very, very nice but at £5k a bit spendy.

Either a Carbine 29 or a Tracer 275... really need to demo both (if I can find anywhere that's got both in). The Carbine I demo'd last year was an absolute riot, but reviews say the Tracer is even better. Definitely want to pick up one of them though, Fox 36s plus a CCDB Air, 1x11... yum! 😈

When the lottery finally stumps up it will be a Funk Cycles frame in 29er version & a Jones Ti with as many bling bits as I can source plus a steel vault to keep them in.

I can't justify a new bike but if I was I would have a 29er hardtail, probably one of those santa cruz jobs, or maybe a mkII solaris...

Next bike I want doesn't quite exist yet, but I reckon it will:

Needs to be a [i]C45650[/i] - a carbon 456 (or similar), with tweener wheels, plus bigger seat and head tubes to replace my now rather [i]"old school"[/i] heavy, skinny tubed, 456-SS...

It's going to be another couple of years till I can swing it though I reckon, so there's no rush for them to actually start making it yet...

No other Road/CX/MTB itches to scratch... at the moment...

Turner Czar (protected by the security firm that guards this building...) :

The forthcoming Evil Uprising 650b with 11 speed Zee, some Stans wheels and Race Face SixC bits please. Obviously this is in a few years, and I'll probably need a hardtail to go with it.

Cannondale F-Si
a TT bike

Barely use an MTB these days, location I live in has somewhat killed my interests as I have to drive so far to make a ride worthwhile.

However, the Pinnacle Arkose range has my eye for a new commuter, riding to work through the winter/winds with gears feels like it would appeal. Having to look after mechs, chains, cables etc doesn't!

The forthcoming Evil Uprising 650b

Alpine 160 650B jobbie would feature very highly although I'd want to test that and another Five side by side. Think I'd benefit from the extra travel / skill compensation the Alpine would give me for what I'd guess is relatively little extra weight.

Also want to "adventure bike" my Curtis S1 by adding a few gears and some fk off big tyres (well, 2.4 kind things) and going off riding to far away, desolate places like Lancashire. I may just buy a Stooge though.

After a very very long wait, it looks like Turner have a new rfx, in carbon, coming soon!

I'd like some xt 11 speed for my single speed Karate Monkey and a genesis vagabond if they ever officially announce it, simple pleasures.

I'm not allowed anything new until 2016, so the official answer is "nothing".

However I wouldn't be too sad if I found a Giant Reign in the garage.

Latest Orange Five (or just possibly the Alpine 160).

DaveyBoy - nice Five review here, if you're interested...

http://enduro-mtb.com/en/the-review-the-new-orange-high-five-rs/

Cheers wl - not read that one. Hmmm... New bike or some silly expensive van suspension come bonus time...

Same as mrbobbly...though I think I may up with the budget planetx versions of both 🙁

Quite like the santa cruz stigmata too...

Davey - no probs. It's a quality review. Sums the whole Five thing up perfectly if you ask me, as someone who already owns the 26" one.

[img] [/img]This. Well, in terms of a trail bike at least. Lot's more I'd love in all categories of bike!

Stevied, I've just ordered my 601 Werksmachine in raw 🙂

Spark 700 SL. Lush.

This:

Oh, wait a minute - I have actually just bought it, 19 hrs ago.....

😆

Just ordered my first ever n+1, well the frame anyway, a Stanton Switchback.
Once that's built and up an running I may then look to swap out bits from my Mach6 to one of those Liteville 601 frames as well.

That should cover my for fun local riding and shuttley stuff/bike park holidays.

Lets hope the wife doesn't interfere with my plans 🙂

Davey - no probs. It's a quality review. Sums the whole Five thing up perfectly if you ask me, as someone who already owns the 26" one.

Same here - one of the last 26ers but running big forks and offset bushings - its a great bike but manufacturers are telling me I need bigger wheels, a longer TT and a little tiny stem! New five seems to tick all the boxes. I know I could get a funky looking Capra for the same money but you have to be bloody fast to pull off a Capra with yellow wheels - and I'm not!

I've never owned or ridden a full suspension bike before so I'd like to try one. I fancy a Canyon Nerve or Spectral.

More realistically, I really want to build up a Cotic Soul.

+1 for the Uprising 650b. I just hope they give it more rear tyre clearance than the current 26er version oh and it'd have to be more fun to ride than my Spitty to justify a swap in the first place.

one of these when I can source one.

nothing till about half an hour ago when those bad folk at Sprockets put this on their FB page....

I Like That Bianchi a Lot. It's the SL isn;t it? Rumors it weighs similar to my R5ca but can't see it myself, looks bloomin lovely though that.

Me?

A SpaCycles Tourer.
Oh yes, you read that Right 😆

unsure how I feel about those formula forks though.

Having ridden them on a demo 601 in Garda, I'm quite impressed with them.
I've also ridden a 601 with 'zocchi 66Ti forks. Of the two, I actually prefer the Formulas. They feel quite "Pike-y".
Maintenance manuals are available on-line now too and they look relatively easy to do. Haven't checked availability of parts though.

they've just knocked a bit more off it.....must resist......

Oh my size too, now that would make an ideal commuter.

[i]Edit: mechanical discs, I'm out.[/i]

Nothing really at the moment which is odd, sure I will be lusting after something soon enough.

It's the new Specialissima at a quoted 780g it might not be the lightest, but it's still up there!

Bird Aeris

Carbon Remedy 29 or maybe Sworks Enduro 29 or Trailfox TF01.

Seems fairly likely I'll end up buying a voodoo fatbike for about 1/10th as much money though

For those above checking out Sprockets Cycles, I can highly recommend them as they deliver next day.
Got my Bos forks from them at a knock down price, too cheap if you ask me.

Thumbs up to guys at Sprockets Cycles 😀

Had my heart set on one of these

Until I saw this

YT looks nicer.

Been pining for a downhill bike for a while, if I wasn't getting married later this year I'd have gone for the YT Tues. I could still get one this year, but a new bike turning up would probably dent the honeymoon period!

Yeti's new SI 29er SuperBike. I'm hoping for great things anytime soon.

A Jones spaceframe and fork , I think I'd run it chubby 650b + and singlespeed .

Both that Bird and YT look pretty generic IMO. Sure they're both fab bikes though.

Do it Iain C!

Do it Iain C!

with a CDF 30 and a Defy Composite already I just can't justify it, much as I love a proper bargain 🙂

I can't decide. I want a slack 160mm ENDURO! bike to go alongside my HT.
The Nomad looks perfect but I don't want another santa cruz. 😕

Nicolai Argon AM 26" non pinion though.

This, so much so that I am picking it up on Saturday 8)

[img] [/img]

Reason? I've always wanted to own a Kona (never thought it would be a hybrid though!). And in the spirit of Kona, it'll mean I cycle more, and that's gotta be a good thing! It'll also save wear and tear on the mountain bike, and I won't worry about leaving it locked outside the shop/pub.

Waiting for contact from insurance after I snapped my Canyon Aeroad in half, racing this weekend.

not sure where I'm going next, in an ideal world I'm looking at Di2. seen a lot of canyon failures recently, so thinking Giant TCR Advanced SL, or Ridley Helium

Davey - where did you get your offset bushes from, and do you rate them? I run 150mm Pikes on my 2013 Five and I've toyed with slackening it off a bit. Can't beat Orange simplicity, especially in the north, and through winter. Cheers.

26 27.5 flavour Wrecker ?

27.5 buddy.

Really quite fancy one of these at the moment. I dont have the space at the moment and don't want to sell anything to make the space so maybe after christmas when we have a new house and a garage to put bikes in.

I think one of these would be perfect for most of my riding

I currently have a titanium itch which may just have to be scratched with an Enigma Evoke

Probably not one of my best ideas, but so much want!

Gravel bike;

That Intense Tracer looks the absolute nuts.
Mind you, for £9k it bloody well should.
Will cross that off my list then.

An e-bike. Probably one of these... http://www.specialized.com/gb/gb/bikes/ebike/turbo-s/turbo

One of these... Just need to find 4 grand down the back of a sofa. And wait for Norn Iron to get a new Orbea dealer..

27.5+ curious here. Orbea hard tails look interesting......
